QUETTA:
Balochistan Chief Minister Sarfraz Bugti on Wednesday reiterated that government posts in the province would be filled on merit and would not be sold under any circumstances.
In a statement, the chief minister said the provincial government was taking practical steps to provide dignified employment opportunities to the youth.
As part of these efforts, advertisements for over 25,000 government posts from grade 1 to grade 15 have already been published. He stressed that the initiative aims to strengthen good governance by ensuring that jobs are offered strictly on merit.

He assured that recruitment for these positions will be done through a transparent, fair and constitutional mechanism.
The chief minister added that in departments where tests and interviews have already been conducted, appointment orders will be issued expeditiously to avoid unnecessary delays for successful candidates.
He also announced that an online testing system, similar to the one used by the finance department, will be introduced for vacancies in other departments. This system, he said, will ensure that recruitment is done solely on the basis of merit, thereby eliminating favoritism and corruption.
Bugti stressed that merit-based recruitment is the foundation of good governance and the provincial government will not compromise on this principle.
He categorically reiterated his promise that jobs meant for the people of Balochistan will not be bartered or sold, assuring that every eligible candidate will be given their rightful opportunity strictly on the basis of their merit.
